====== QT from Trolltech ======

{{ fastdev:qt:qt_logo.png}}

We have chosen [[http://www.trolltech.com/products/qt|QT]] as the development framework for the GUI on the PC. It is very fast, supports multiple platforms (GNU/Linux, Windows, MacOS), and is coded in C++.

QT has excellent documentation [[http://doc.trolltech.com/|here]]. The computers that we are using are running Debian GNU/Linux unstable, with QT version 4.2. The [[http://doc.trolltech.com/4.2/index.html|Documentation]] for that specific version is also available on the Trolltech website.

At the beginning, be sure not to miss the [[http://doc.trolltech.com/4.2/examples.html|Tutorials and examples]].
